652 River Rd, Welland, ON L3B 0A1, Canada
The food was terrible. Pricing is terrible. Staff stay true to the Grumpy name. Burgers - have little to no taste and way over cooked. Both my wife and I had tummy issues and remained close to a washroom for a couple of hours after only a few bites, but I could not finish this food. Some fries were cooked, and some were not. I have 3 kids that devour any chicken they eat except from here. It, too, was overcooked to the point that it was not edible. Had to go get them pizza so they could eat. Would never go back here. We were just visiting the area for the day, but we would definitely not go back here.
I went to grumpy grandmas today for lunch and they never disappoint! The food its self is amazing and I love the family every time I come to eat you get welcomed with such warm hearts! I even brought my pup for the car ride and they gave him a nice big treat which he loved so thank you! Highly recommend grumpy grandmas
This was our first time eating here and we will be regulars. We had eaten some sushi earlier so we shared a deep fried Big Mack with fries. The fries were great and the Big Mack was delicious, far better than any Big Mac I've ever had(probably only had 3). Big portions, good prices and friendly service. I can't wait to try a donair(I've eaten many late night drunken donairs in Halifax).
Delicious! Recommend going on grilled cheese day. The Big Mac grilled cheese was ginormous and delicious. My boyfriend had the jalapeño popper one and ate it all so quick. There were no leftovers. Also recommend upgrading the fry to a poutine. So much gravy and cheese! 🥰 We will be back!
EVERYTHING is great. Burgers, hot dogs, donairs. Fries delicious. Staff amazing. Donair was delicious with a bit of heat. Meaty and fries with gravey. Always, a large portion. I can go pass out now, full and 😊 😆 🤣 😂
incredible place, I highly recommend the children's menu burger it comes with burger, fries, juice box or water and a treat (gummies or bear paw) for $8 it is a great deal, and the family poutine is tasty, they are generous on the gravy and cheese curds and thats always my favourite! delicious and incredible portions
Came to Welland to pick something up and check out the canal. Was recommended this place. And oh boy do they deliver! I got the Meanie burger fries and a drink plus a kids burger for my dogs. The kids burger is probably a regular burger at golden arches. My burger was sooo good. Its crispy tasty spicy and flavourful! The sauce is sooo good. The fries were plenty and perfectly cooked. And the staff was really nice :) I highly recommend this place!!
Lovely small food truck located next to a gas station and some big box stores! The owners and staff here are wonderful people. Ordered a newfie poutine and added cheese curds to it and it was super filling and satisfying!
The fries was tiny and end pieces the gravy was very salty
Must have in Welland
I absolutely love the food. But the last 4 times I have gone to get it they have been closes. Website says open til 6pm and I show up at 5 and there closed already. I wish they would stay open until til there proper time
Had chicken deluxe with everything. Excellent meal and friendly service. Will return again soon. Great food from a great food truck. Vegetarian options: Can get burger on lettuce leaf instead of bun. For myself I love chicken deluxe. Dietary restrictions: Lettuce leaf instead of bun. You are asked just what YOU want on your meal.
We saw a post on Facebook saying buy one combo get another of equal or lesser value free. No where did it say you had to mention it when ordering. I did say it, though. Apparently, the teen at front was on his first time up front taking orders, and he didnt hear me. When I asked the lady (not gramma but had blonde long hair) was kinda snippy and said you had to mention it or you wouldnt get it and seemed hesitant to give me back money when I said I had mentioned it. She said he was young and I had to be louder. I really wanted to love grumpy grammas cause I have friends who rave about it all the time. Our pizza rolls werent fully cooked through, dough was raw. I asked for some pickles and ketchup. My bun was drenched in pickle juice. Now, I love pickles so for me to say something about it, it wasnt alright. It made my burger sour/tangy.
Possibly best burger in welland and area. Kids chicken finger meals are big. Definitely check this place out.
There was a dead fly in my food and when I asked for them to make me a new batch the owners became very hostile and refused. Would never return
Unfortunately this was the worst Buffalo chicken poutine ive had, not sure if because we went right before closing but the chicken appeared to be deep fried a second time after slicing, guessing it was the last batch and was cold so they threw it back in.... Was terrible, basically chicken jerky
Used to be real chicken, its like great value frozen isle now.
The hours online state Tuesday- Sunday. Usually 11 am - 6 pm. Exceptions are Saturday open til 9 pm and Sunday 4 pm. I have REPEATEDLY shown up here to see what the hypes about during the business hours they stated. Every single time they are closed without exception. Super unprofessional. I went last saturday July 6th 2024. Closed. Again today. July 10th 2024 at 3:30 pm. Closed. Not gonna bother again.
The best food!
Stopped in for lunch while on the road for work. I ordered a donair and my coworker ordered a burger and onion rings. Donair was a bit expensive for the size. Use of prepakaged donair meat was understable from a food truck meat was properly crisped up on the grill. Most spot on sweet sauce I have had within 2 hours of the GTA. Co-worker thought burger and onion rings were very good. Impressed with amount of onion rings.
Best fries Ive ever had in my life. Seriously. I called the restaurant while eating to tell them. AMAZING!!!
Big and great tasting burger. The poutine is definitely the best in Welland. The preparation was also pretty fast.
They have fantastic food omg so delicious great job everyone
Hair in my food.
Use to like going here, but had a bad experience today. Went to go order 2 grumpy dogs which are priced at $6.95 each and was charged $27 which makes no sense after tax and a tip...
we were a little hesitant from seeing other reviews and as young adults we don t tend to have the best experiences but despite everything this place has amazing food, the owners were friendly and accommodating. we definitely will be back!!
I ve been to Gumpy Grammas many times and food and service have always been great. Unfortunately today was a different experience. My party pre ordered for Good Friday as it was going to be very busy. We showed up a few minutes before the preorder time, paid and tipped. It was very very busy so understandable that there may be a bit of a wait. However, over an hour and a half later there was still no food, for a PREORDER! After noticing there were only a few tables that had ordered and not yet gotten food and many empty tables, my party simple asked how much longer we could expect to wait on the pre order. To which we were very rudely told Well there s a wait! . We advised that we had been waiting an hour and a half for the pre order and were questioned on the time. It should be advised that we were informed when you pre-order every walk in order that was put in jumps infront of your pre-order. Thus it works out to becoming first come first serve and not a pre order. If we were made aware of this in advice we would have planned accordingly and expected the very long wait. To make matters worse, we get home and the order is wrong! We ordered a chicken deluxe and it was a cutlet of some sort. Not sure if it was chicken or pork, was a mystery meat but not what they serve as the chicken deluxe at the truck. This resulted in one family member not having any dinner. There was also a very small portion of fries for the amount of fish that was ordered. Extremely disappointing.
If I could give no stars at all I would much rather do that I think this place should be boycotted. The food is horrible and the owners are extremely rude it should be grumpy Grandma and Grandpas. Ive also seen the man be pretty creepy to the school girls that go there for lunch. Ive also noticed their son working there it looks like hes cracked out.
Hardly ever open when google says they are. Should update hours to say only open when we feel like it
Just had food from here for the first time. Not sure how people say this food is good. Will never be back
The older lady and man working there are both very rude and stuck in their own ways. If you dare tell them there is something wrong with your order then they will put you down and try to embarrass you. On top of that, the food was not very good and not much effort is put into it. Definitely not worth the prices.
diamond in the rough, but my little gem
Went to this food truck a long time ago. I had a poutine and loved it! I dont remember the truck being at this location though.
Fall time!!!!!!
Disgusting, insult to Newfoundlanders The dressing for the chips dressing and gravy Is not Newfoundland recipe
Stationary food truck with tons of delicious options. Most diverse food truck around.
Homemade soups are on the menu this year. Delisous. Wonderful food truck! Food
Google says youre open but Im here and youre closed. Disappointed
This place is BEYOND FANTASTIC! Been coming here since it was the Orange Good Truck out front of Canadian Tire and have never been disappointed with the food, service and menu choices! I finally tried the deep friend Big Mac last night and oh my goodness it did not disappoint! It was probably one of the best things I have eaten all month! Thank you so much for being awesome! I look forward to trying more of your amazing creations and KK s soups throughout the summer! Kid-friendliness: Always amazing with the kiddos my little guy used to ask to eat at the orange truck every time we went to Canadian Tire. Now he loves the hearts truck
Great food!!! Best donairs in Niagara. Awesome service. Very clean and professional. It s cold out there and they are troopers keeping up with customers Will definitely make the drive for this food!!!
The staff was very friendly welcoming and answered a couple questions I had about their facility. The food is incredible. They were able to give me a recommendation on a menu item for future purchase. The only reason I didnt give it a perfect 505 stars is because it is a food truck and theres no where to really dine in so youre limited to a outdoor dining or takeout. 9.5/10
The meanie burger is epic!
We tried this place for the first time. Food was excellent great flavor. Service was the best.
First time here Cheeseburger, califlour bites, donairs on a pita... all AWESOME. Making this a regular lunch stop. Only thing I personally didnt like was the burger had a bit of a bite to it, I dont personally like that but hubby loved it... definitely suggest trying it out.. Large menu, many choices, great prices... GO TRY IT!!
Absolutely amazing food, can t get enough of it. The daily specials they come up with are insane and always delicious!!
2nd time where I drive 15 minutes just to be told they closed an hour early. They are open till 6PM to begin with. Hopefully next time they stay open until posted hours.
Fast. Tasty. Ill be back.
Some of the best homemade food in town, especially the burgers
Great food. The experience was great also.
Drove here just to try the food. Should be open per hours listed online. Got here at 5:00pm and they are closed. Two other full vehicles of people also arrived while we figured out where we should go instead and they were disappointed as well. Too bad please update your hours
Just went here for the first time with my buddies who usually come alot. I got the daily special the Chipotle chicken wrap with a garden salad. And it was so damn good!! I definitely recommend coming to this place, I know I will be coming back for sure
First time visiting today for a family Father s Day lunch, did not disappoint! Huge portions, delicious food, super quick and friendly service. Will definitely be back!
Just brought my boys there. First time they loved your food. Staff was very friendly as well
Food was bomb. Will be coming back. Holy hecc.
We had the hotdog and cheeseburger with bacon. Both were delicious! Thank you!
Food was dry and overcooked. Not very sanitary. And when you start to bash (talk bad) about earlier customers it leaves an even worse taste in the mouth. Many other great food trucks in welland and the Niagara region to choose from. Would not recommend. Food
AMAZING FOOD! Have gone a few times now and everything has been incredible. So much flavour and fresh ingredients, couldnt recommend this place more!
I couldnt actually give any stars. This food truck has been closed permanently! It is for sale. This shouldnt even be advertised here anymore. What a disappointment!
Incredible food and amazing people.
Just had a great lunch here. They had a broken fryer and no less than 30 students waiting for lunch and I still got a great lunch with a smile.
Love the East Coast Donairs!!! The onion rings are good too! She has a good Chipotle maple dip thats very yummy! Well be back!
Everything was so good!!! Can t wait to go back.
Brought my order home today, fries were very under cooked - white, soft and raw, basically blanched... Was able to refry one portion but had to throw out the second as it was poutine . The menu says double fried ours were hardly fried once. Total disappointment. Will not be returning. Update- Decided to give this food truck a try again after 3 years, only because Mister Chips is not open on Sundays. So upset that I did. The food is such poor quality, burgers were way overcooked, and I think there is bacon in the patty which completely throws the beef flavour off, and the fry oil was old. I can taste it and it left me with an upset stomach all night right through the morning. On the service side, they are so unwelcoming and talk about customers in front of customers.
Always the best poutine!!
This place is absolutely my favorite place when it comes time for my lunch. Their food selection is amazing. Their service is alway pleasant, and the quality of food you order never disappoints! Portions and prices are excellent. My absolute 2 favorite things to order are the chicken club wrap and the amazing newfie poutine. Im looking forward to my next lunch visit!
Great food. I really enjoy their donairs. Their hours of operation is hit and miss though. Always call before traveling there. Unfortunately I have been duped many times.
Today I drove up to take a look at the menu because we have a large group who wanted to eat here after a soccer tournament. The man working Grumpy Grampa was extremely rude to me. I rolled down my window to ask what time they close and he said we are open now and you see those white lines over there? They are parking spots. My jaw dropped to the floor. I tried to explain that I just wanted to take a look at the menu and wasnt staying but he rudely cut me off to say that I was going to run over his customers. This food truck should be called Grumpy Grampas... unless Gramma is even worse!! They lost big sale today and we wont ever try this place.
Food truck Supreme!!! Love this place. I highly recommend...everything on the menu Im sure is fantastic
Delicious homemade meals and excellent customer service! Best potato and bacon soup as well as the broccoli, cheddar bacon soup. Highly recommend keep up the good work. Cant wait to go back again soon!
Poutine is always yummy.
An amazing food truck with amazing food. Along side with quality service
Absolutely amazing!! Huge portion incredible taste and the friendliest staff youve ever seen! You gotta eat there!! UPDATE! New trailer same amazing service and food!!
Got the Friday fish fry and oh my goodness this is now going to be my go to. Everything was crispy and hot and stayed that way even though I drove all the way to st. Catharines with it. Portions were huge. Even my 2 year old said yum. Definitely worth the drive and will be back
Delicious fish and chips!!!
If you are looking for an amazing homemade burger look no further. Sooooo good we will definitely be back!
The food was the BOMB!
Yum! Tried the betty lou special ,With sweet potato fries
Best food truck in welland!
Anyways great food!
The food is heavily my burger was better than what I make and the fries where mm.
Over priced! And the chicken was not fully cooked
I love supporting local business owners. The food is homemade and so delicious. Price is reasonable and portion size is a good value for your money
Over priced, very greasy
Great food and quick I will definitely be back
Their food is awesome and hot
Changing my review over a much more positive experience this time around. Friendly staff and excellent delicious food. Just be prepared to wait a little bit but its worth it.
Great standards with interesting specials. Very friendly staff. Great tasting food
Was recommended from a friend to try. Very delicious!! I bought a hot dog and kd bites and my friend got a poutine. Very happy with the customer service, the quality, quantity and taste. Definitely recommend!!!
As an east coaster this is definitely the spot to get an authentic east coast donair, hit the spot for sure.
They really need to learn to update their hours if they re going to have them available online; drove all the way here cause it says open till 6 and they re closed when I get here at 4pm not impressed just wasted the gas for nothing
Super friendly, quick, and delicious!!
Their food is FANTASTIC ! The service is 2nd to none
Orderd the grumpy burger. Pretty nasty tasting solid grease!. I wouldnt buy here again! Beware!!!
Simply the best burgers Ive ever had, patty was decent sized and perfectly seasoned, buns were perfect for the burger and customer service was on point. I came here because Ive heard great things from locals and they sure lived up to the hype
Always Great food super friendly staff reasonable prices... Some unique menu items ive only seen here... Will always be a repeat customer
First time there and we will be returning. Portion sizes and quality of the meal was great. The service was very friendly and helpful. Definitely well above our expectations.
Great burger and sides
Great junk in a hurry. Fast efficient service, wait in your car with a buzzer in hand. The kids love their Hot dogs and fries, as well as the poutine.
Great little food truck with lots of options. Wish the fries were done a little bit more but gravy good and portion is good.
Amazing taste and value. I go every chance I get.
Recently was recommended this place. Wow is the best way to sum it up. I tried the special mid week and was astounded with the weight of my plate! The portion was fantastic. Today I went back for the pulled pork burger that was the daily special. Easily the one of the best burgers of my life! Every bite was bliss. Again received a good portion. My friend took the pulled pork poutine and he too was thrilled with his meal. This will definitely become my regular spot! A must visit!!! I wish I had taken photos to share.
This is a food truck that is awesome.. Daily specials as well as the normal choices but much above the usual!!! Her food is fabulous.... the portion sizes are large enough for seniors to share and young people to go away full!! And she caters to every one!! Cant wait to go back!!
Love the food. Owners are very nice. Good place to eat.
DO NOT EAT HERE !!! FOOD POISONING!!had a hot dog and some jalapeno poppers around noon on Saturday afternoon, August 13th. Only thing I had to eat science supper the night before. By 6 pm I was dying. Brutal diarrhea every five minutes. Wicked headache, stabbing abdominal pain. The hot dog was great but the aftermath was nothing I would wish on my worst enemy. Totally out of commission more than 24 hrs. and still recovering. So. As an update and reply to the owners recent comments that were clearly trying to discredit my review. I will say that I posted my review 2 days after eating at his establishment . A full 7 days after consuming the hot dog, that I specifically ordered raw onions on. I was STILL affected with severe firehose bloody, diarrhea and acute stomach pains. My wife , being a retired E.R. front line health care professional, agreed that it certainly seemed like a clear case of FOOD POISONING. The owner points out , in his flippant and unapologetically self righteous way, that you can eat raw hot dogs and not get sick. This is true. What you cant eat is raw onions that were , potentially chopped up with a knife that was potentially used to process , raw and potentially CONTAMINATED chicken. Cross contamination is the easiest way for someone who may, or may not have been trained , and certified, in proper food handling practices. I would also like to point out that the Niagra Public Health system was very prompt in their unannounced site check and subsequent follow up with me , the complainant . They did not at any point durring our conversations, indicate that they felt much less agreed with the owner that I must have gotten it someplace else or that they thought I had the flu. Its very likely, that after seeing or being notified of my poor review the owner did an immediate deep clean and dissinfection of the entire trailer before the Health Departments inspection.
Excellent chicken Thai wrap, the best macaroni
I wish I had tried this restaurant sooner. Cant wait to go back. The food was really good! Parking: Loads of parking spots, in the summer there were bees.
So much food. Delicious. Lots of leftovers for tomorrow.
Their poutine and burgers were so good!
This food truck is f.amazing. and the. Girls who run the front in love big time. Too the cook who make the food.. Price is good value for the meals and i have had it call .. I try too go every time im working. .
Great food reasonable prices.
Portion size was way more then I would have expected and the flavor was great .... needing to save fries for a little later
Best poutine in town. Staff were super friendly, greeted my daughter and I as we approached. Service was fast. Loved everything being made fresh.
Went to Grumpys for lunch to grab a burger and fries. i will never go to a fast food chain again. Huge portions friendly staff and quick. Nothing but local homemade goodness here! Will definately be back again and again and again!!!
Absolutely loved my Grumpy burger. Cheers gang for a great lunch. Tim
I love this place! The food and service is awsome
Got the daily special. Hands down one of the best things I have ever eaten. Waffles and breaded chickens breasts.
Great food and big portions!!
Great food and service
First time buying and their poutine is out of this world
First time ordering. Ordered the plain burger with the works on it to get the full flavor and man I wasnt disappointed. Homemade big burger. and while I was waiting I realized how extensive the menu was and I cannot wait to return. Well done!
Flavour, freshness and portions shame restaurants like Kelsey s. The prices are great and we ll definitely be back! One of our new favourite places.
Grumpy Gramma s is a must try if you re in the area and or are local. The food is amazing, full of flavour and priced well. My order was ready in a matter of minutes. Looking forward to trying out more of the menu items in the future. So good!
Family size with extra curds is where its at!!
Super delicious poutine.
Best food truck and nicest people
Tried this place today and got the Betty Lou sandwich and it was really tasty. I was reluctant at first to try the coleslaw because Im not a huge fan in general but the owner insisted I give it a try and I dont regret it. Best coleslaw and chicken sandwich Ive had. Also very friendly service. Thanks again guys!
Absolutely fantastic hot dogs, burgers and poutine!
Buffalo chicken wrap, burger & poutine
I would like to give them a 6. The Grammas Homemade Chicken Deluxe is huge, and delicious, real chicken breast, thick bacon, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and red onion. But I have to say, they werent all that grumpy. I hope that doesnt spoil their secret.
I just tried grumpy grandmas, ordered the hamburger, and boy was it delicious, and filling, a good value for 7 bucks, take that McDonalds. Highly recommend this food truck.
Called in to make a 70$ order for pickup, owner was extremely disrespectful over the phone and urged me to hurry up as his customers in line are more important . Once in line i heard him complaining to other customers about my phone call as well. All around super unprofessional business, that i would not recommend.
By far the absolute best burgers anywhere to be found. My goto place anytime I crave a burger. So much more too but burgers are 100 percent amazing
I literally couldnt wait to get home and let everyone know their burgers are out of this world! I got the grumpy burger and are out so fast was going to offer another but the poutine filled me up. Entire family also lived their burgers!
Small portions!
Great fries, quick service, straightforward & sassy staff- 100% recommended!
No gloves, masks or any PPE. Touched my food after touching my money. And the sausage was cold.
Hot Damn! Just stopped by for a quick bite, saw Donair on the menu. Quickly made my decision and ordered. I knew it was a good sign when the older fella in front of me in the line was shocked by the size of his Small fries. Got my donair home, this thing was STUFFED...and so delicious. It had been so long since Id had a good donair...THIS was a good donair. Will be back soon and often.
Amazing food and friendly service. The poutine is to die for.
Lumberjack grilled cheese is bloody amazing!!!!
As a Newfie on the mainland its honestly so hard to find REAL good Newfie food, but Grumpy Grammas NAILED IT. Such a delicious Newfie mess and their donairs are incredible!
So delicious, homemade and staff is dynamite. Gramma is the best Gramma
Brought a group of 30 to the trailer today and she had us all served in 30 minutes. Fantastic food and great prices!
Had a trip out today with our Hamilton group, stopped here for lunch . The lady was great and the guy coming did an awesome job. Gramma and Bumpa should be proud! Well be back!
Keeps bringing me back for more! Grumpy is the name, but a big heart and feeding people is her game!
(OK. Third time trying to post this review... Hopefully Google cooperates.) So I guess Ill start by saying Grumpy Gramma s is my favorite spot to grab lunch. Theres just something about a homemade burger thats made from quality meat with bacon mixed in that makes me crave it! But its not just the burgers that make this little orange trailer shine. The daily specials are insta-worthy. The Donairs are delicious, the Betty Lou (chicken & waffle sandwich) is one of my faves, Uncle Pauls Pulled Pork sandwich OR poutine are always winners, and the new Meanie Burger is just epic. Prices might be a little steep for some but are average prices for a food truck thats pumping out quality hand made food. Only suggestion I would make is to have a lunch special aimed at the employees of the surrounding businesses. Thats a ton of people who make the decision daily between a $5 fast food meal or a $10+ food truck meal. Again I completely understand the pricing and love the food but as a foodie and a business minded person I see a missed opportunity to grab a ton of more frequent customers. TLDR: My fave spot for lunch. Great quality burgers. Daily specials are amazing. Should have a cheaper lunch option for surrounding business employees.
Went there with my son the other day for a hot dog. Place was busy and my order got lost in the shuffle. They apologized and upgraded the order free of charge. That is customer service in my opinion. As per my sons comments, the hot dog was amazing.
Awesome fries, great menu, fantastic owners, would recommend this to everyone, daily specials are often unique and sold out. They made my Dad feel so important on November 11th last year!!!
went there on the weekend ! very friendly, great poutine . would go again when in the area
